Book Mark Activity: Root Words, Suffixes, Prefixes

This book mark activity is designed to help students study and learn root words, prefixes, and suffixes. One side of the book mark includes the title of the chosen book, the author, and a brief explanation of why the book was chosen. The other side is used to track reading progress by recording the date and number of pages read. Each week, a new worksheet with new roots, prefixes, and suffixes will be provided, and students are required to find definitions of all the words and study for a quiz.

  4. Root Words • A root is a word part that contains the core meaning of the word. • A multitude of English words contain roots that come from older languages (i.e. Greek and Latin). • Understanding the meanings of a word’s root can help you determine the word’s meaning. Example: Hydr- is a Greek root meaning water. An example of a word with this root is hydrant.

  5. Prefix A prefix is a word part attached to the beginning of a word to modify its meaning. Example: un- is a prefix meaning the opposite of, not. An example of a word with this prefix is unhappy.

  6. Suffix A suffix is a word part that appears at the end of a root or base word to form a new word although some suffixes may not change word meaning. Example: -less is a suffix meaning without. An example of a word with this suffix is motionless.
